My blog is about anything that affects my life. I started with food, but I end up sharing characters from my past and my opinions about various topics.

I’m in Pasadena. Just toured the float making area. This is my second year here for this magical celebration. So I’m dashing off a quick hello and will add a picture if any if them are good enough. Had a wonderful seafood dinner last night in Hollywood with friends and former students. Live is good. It’s a beautiful day in the neighborhood and I consider myself very lucky.

This is to wish you all a wondrous , prosperous and Happy New Year. Don’t miss the Rose Parade, if you can watch it on television. It really is spectacular.
